Theo Walcott argued that he is worth a starting place after scoring his eighth
goal of the season in the 2-2 draw away to Schalke in the Champions League
last night.

The winger, who was making only his fourth start of the season, missed a late
opportunity to win the game for Arsenal after he was given a clear run on
goal. But when asked later why he had been sidelined by Arsène Wenger this
season, while a contract dispute continues, Walcott admitted he did not know
the answer.
